    Trying to decide between two widebands. I know there are threads saying opinions but I wanted to see what you guy think. These are the lowest prices I could find and by what I saw that two best options:

    PLX:
    PLX DM-5 Wideband O2 52mm Display + SM-AFR Combo BLACK: eBay Motors (item 390177902502 end time Oct-28-10 14:27:24 PDT)

    OR

    NGK:
    NGK NTK Wide Band Powerdex AFX Air/Fuel Gauge Wideband: eBay Motors (item 400161776545 end time Oct-17-10 08:56:10 PDT)

    I have two votes for the NGK AFX at this point. I just liked the gauge on the PLX.

    I am leaning toward that PLX because its a good price and has some better options.

    I do not have an aeroforce. To be honest I don't really like the pillar mounts. Mainly cause I can't find a two pod pillar mount for my car. I was actually thinking I would run one of the PLX wifi or PLX Kiwi adapters and use my phone as the gauge.

    I have a PLX M300. Either of those would work. I think there are some used AEM widebands in the for sale section or on clubgp.com for $175 though as well.

    Yeah I have seen only bad reviews of the AEM brand widebands. From the research I have done the PLX and NGK widebands are the best for that price point.

    Larger display that makes it easier to read. I'm sure they are both well made and work like they should. Plus I can mount it anywhere I want. Not just in a gauge pod. I mounted mine when I had it right on top of the dash above the instrument cluster so its easier to see when I need to see it.

    I just read something that made my mind up. With the PLX wideband you don't need to open air calibrate it like you would with the AFX.
